语篇解读　这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了迪拜一日游的行程安排。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Have a sky-high supper
Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa(哈利法塔) by booking a table at At. Mosphere on the 122nd floor. The observation area is just above this restaurant，where you’ll enjoy the incredible views with fewer crowds. And with cuisine described as “top drawer”，it is sure to be lunch，afternoon tea or dinner you’ll never forget.
Swim above the city
Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool，which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up. From here，the Palm(棕榈岛) and the sea sparkles become clear to see. In addition to its daytime sessions，it hosts sunrise swims and early morning yoga，as well as night bookings until 11 p.m.
Enjoy the beach
Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach，with its views of another symbol of Dubai’s skyline：the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab(阿拉伯塔酒店).The beach is free to visit in the daytime. Alternatively，Kitesurf School Dubai offers a variety of sea sports in the afternoon.
Photograph that skyline
Aperture Photos Tours arrange for a local photographer to guide you to capture breathtaking views from the “Vertical Forest” built in Downtown to Dubai Marina(迪拜码头).The tours are private and available in the afternoon；all you need is a camera and a head for heights.
1.What do At.Mosphere and Aura Skypool have in common
A.They offer the top-ranking cuisine.
B.They are inaccessible at night.
C.They satisfy tourists’ needs of exercising the body.
D.They are perfect observation areas with a view below.
√
细节理解题。根据Have a sky-high supper部分的“Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa(哈利法塔) by booking a table at At.Mosphere on the 122nd floor.”和Swim above the city部分的“Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool，which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up.”可知，At.Mosphere和Aura Skypool的共同点在于它们都是绝佳的观景点，可以看到下面的景色。故选D。
解析
2.Which place suits a tourist who is afraid of heights
A.At.Mosphere. B.Aura Skypool.
C.Kite Beach. D.Vertical Forest.
细节理解题。根据Enjoy the beach部分的“Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach”并结合其他三个部分的“on the 122nd floor”“from 50 floors up”和“a head for heights”可知，Kite Beach是一个海滩，游客可以在这里享受阳光和沙滩，而不是在高处观赏景色。由此可知，对于恐高的游客来说，Kite Beach是一个合适的选择。故选C。
解析

3.Where can the text be found
A.In a travel brochure.
B.In a history book.
C.In a sports magazine.
D.In a fashion guide.
文章出处题。文章主要介绍了迪拜一日游的行程安排，包括在哈利法塔的高空餐厅用餐、在Aura Skypool游泳、在Kite Beach享受阳光、拍摄迪拜天际线的照片等活动，这些内容都与旅游相关。由此推知，这篇文章最可能出现在旅游手册中。故选A。

B(此篇精读)
River surfing was inspired by ocean surfing，but its popularity is growing all on its own. Traditional surfing began more than 3,000 years ago in Western Polynesia. First making its way to① Hawaii，the sport has since spread across the globe，leaving in its wake wave-chasers② from all corners of the planet—even land-locked③ places. Some surfers hungry for④ waves but without coastlines have turned to river surfing，which delivers a similar experience in ocean-less conditions.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了正在流行起来的河流冲浪。
In 1970’s Munich，a small group of adventurous surfers took to the Eisbach River near Englischer Garten Park. Holding tight to two ropes attached to a bridge，they balanced on wooden planks (厚木板) in the river to imitate the ocean surfing they had experienced abroad. This is the moment many river surfers believe the sport was born.
River waves are formed either by water flowing quickly downstream over a drop in sea level，creating standing waves，or by tidal bores (涌潮)，which occur where rivers meet the sea. The speed of the water controls the energy of a wave，while the length of the drop decides its size. Because the thickness of a wave also matters (surf fails if there’s just a few inches of water)，the size of the river channel is also important. Rideable waves can occur with slow flow and small drop conditions if the river channel is narrow enough to create a thick wave，and the opposite is true for wide channels.
Because flow can change from day to day and season to season，thanks to a previous winter’s snowfall or other natural phenomena，even an expert has to be at the right spot on the right day to discover a surfable river wave. There are a handful of river waves across the U.S. that are particularly worth checking out. Don’t forget your personal equipment and，for rocky or debris-filled (充满杂物的) rivers，a helmet.
4.Which description of river surfing is true from the passage
A.It first occurred in Hawaii.
B.It has lasted for more than 3,000 years.
C.It actually is a replacement for ocean surfing.
D.It has become more popular than traditional surfing.
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句和下文的介绍可知，河流冲浪是受海上冲浪的启发产生的。河流冲浪能在没有海的条件下带来同海上冲浪相似的体验。由此可知，河流冲浪实际上是海洋冲浪的替代品。故选C项。
解析
√
5.Where is river surfing considered to be created
A.In the Eisbach River.
B.In Western Polynesia.
C.In Littleton，Colorado.
D.In Englischer Garten Park.
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1970’s Munich，a small group of adventurous surfers took to the Eisbach River near Englischer Garten Park...This is the moment many river surfers believe the sport was born.”可知，河流冲浪被认为诞生在艾斯巴赫河。故选A项。
解析
√
6.Which is correct about the river channel
A.It affects tidal bores.
B.Its size decides the thickness of waves.
C.Narrow river channels create slow river flow.
D.Wide river channels contribute to rapid and thick waves.
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Rideable waves can occur with slow flow and small drop conditions if the river channel is narrow enough to create a thick wave，and the opposite is true for wide channels.”可知，河道可以决定波浪的厚度，从而影响河流冲浪。故选B项。
解析
√
7.What’s the purpose of the last sentence
A.To note that river surfing is actually fascinating.
B.To show the difficulty finding a perfect wave.
C.To express the necessity of professional equipment.
D.To stress the importance of safety when river surfing.
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Don’t forget your personal equipment and，for rocky or debris-filled(充满杂物的) rivers，a helmet.”可知，本句是在提醒河流冲浪者带好装备以应对较危险的环境。由此可推知，本句意在强调河流冲浪时安全的重要性。故选D项。
解析

①make one’s way to _________________
②wave-chaser n. ___________________________

2．Which place suits a tourist who is afraid of heights

B(此篇精读)
River surfing was inspired by ocean surfing，but its popularity is growing all on its own.Traditional surfing began more than 3,000 years ago in Western Polynesia.First making its way to① Hawaii，the sport has since spread across the globe，leaving in its wake wave-chasers② from all corners of the planet—even land-locked③ places.Some surfers hungry for④ waves but without coastlines have turned to river surfing，which delivers a similar experience in ocean-less conditions.
In 1970’s Munich，a small group of adventurous surfers took to the Eisbach River near Englischer Garten Park.Holding tight to two ropes attached to a bridge，they balanced on wooden planks (厚木板) in the river to imitate the ocean surfing they had experienced abroad.This is the moment many river surfers believe the sport was born.
River waves are formed either by water flowing quickly downstream over a drop in sea level，creating standing waves，or by tidal bores (涌潮)，which occur where rivers meet the sea.The speed of the water controls the energy of a wave，while the length of the drop decides its size.Because the thickness of a wave also matters (surf fails if there’s just a few inches of water)，the size of the river channel is also important.Rideable waves can occur with slow flow and small drop conditions if the river channel is narrow enough to create a thick wave，and the opposite is true for wide channels.
Because flow can change from day to day and season to season，thanks to a previous winter’s snowfall or other natural phenomena，even an expert has to be at the right spot on the right day to discover a surfable river wave.There are a handful of river waves across the U．S.that are particularly worth checking out.Don’t forget your personal equipment and，for rocky or debris-filled (充满杂物的) rivers，a helmet.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了正在流行起来的河流冲浪。
4．Which description of river surfing is true from the passage
A．It first occurred in Hawaii.
B．It has lasted for more than 3,000 years.
C．It actually is a replacement for ocean surfing.
D．It has become more popular than traditional surfing.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句和下文的介绍可知，河流冲浪是受海上冲浪的启发产生的。河流冲浪能在没有海的条件下带来同海上冲浪相似的体验。由此可知，河流冲浪实际上是海洋冲浪的替代品。故选C项。
5．Where is river surfing considered to be created
A．In the Eisbach River.
B．In Western Polynesia.
C．In Littleton，Colorado.
D．In Englischer Garten Park.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1970’s Munich，a small group of adventurous surfers took to the Eisbach River near Englischer Garten Park...This is the moment many river surfers believe the sport was born.”可知，河流冲浪被认为诞生在艾斯巴赫河。故选A项。
6．Which is correct about the river channel
A．It affects tidal bores.
B．Its size decides the thickness of waves.
C．Narrow river channels create slow river flow.
D．Wide river channels contribute to rapid and thick waves.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Rideable waves can occur with slow flow and small drop conditions if the river channel is narrow enough to create a thick wave，and the opposite is true for wide channels.”可知，河道可以决定波浪的厚度，从而影响河流冲浪。故选B项。
7．What’s the purpose of the last sentence
A．To note that river surfing is actually fascinating.
B．To show the difficulty finding a perfect wave.
C．To express the necessity of professional equipment.
D．To stress the importance of safety when river surfing.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Don’t forget your personal equipment and，for rocky or debris-filled(充满杂物的) rivers，a helmet.”可知，本句是在提醒河流冲浪者带好装备以应对较危险的环境。由此可推知，本句意在强调河流冲浪时安全的重要性。故选D项。
[语境猜词]
①make one’s way to 前往；向……行进
②wave-chaser n 追浪者；热衷于水上运动的人
③land-locked adj. 内陆的
④(be) hungry for 渴望；极想得到
[句式分析]
River waves are formed either by water flowing quickly downstream over a drop in sea level，creating standing waves，or by tidal bores，which occur where rivers meet the sea.
分析：此句为复合句。flowing...sea level为现在分词短语作后置定语，creating standing waves为现在分词短语作结果状语；which引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为tidal bores，which在从句中作主语；where引导地点状语从句。
翻译：河浪的形成，要么是由于水流在海平面落差处快速向下游流动，从而产生驻波；要么是由于涌潮，涌潮出现在江河与海洋交汇之处。
